correspond to `field_summary` structs within [manifest 
list](./spec.md#manifest-lists), with the following order:
+    - `contains_null`
+    - `contains_nan`
+    - `lower_bound`

not available from files' metadata.

+### Entries

Review comment:
       While we support this, I'm not sure that we want this in the standard 
documentation for Spark users. The entries table will show all entries in 
manifests, for both deleted and live files in the table. I think interpreting 
this table is more of an advanced use.
   
   What do you think @samredai?
